The Details

Location

Moremi Crossing sits on Ntswi Island in Gunn's Private Concession (NG27B), directly across the Boro River from the southernmost tip of Chief's Island in the Moremi Game Reserve. The light-aircraft flight from Maun takes around 20 minutes, with a short drive from Ntswi airstrip to camp.

The camp shares its heritage with Gunn's Camp, one of the Delta's first traditional safari outposts, founded by Mike Gunn in the 1980s. Early visitors traded rifles for cameras here, helping shape Botswana's photographic safari industry.

Accommodation

The camp has 16 Meru-style tented suites in total: 14 standard tents, one family tent and one honeymoon tent, all raised on wooden decks along Ntswi Island's riverine forest of palms and ancient trees that are home to Pel's fishing owls.

Each tent has a private elevated viewing deck with outdoor seating, a spacious lounge with armchairs, ceiling fan, tea and coffee facilities, USB charging and writing desk. En-suite bathrooms have flushing toilets, double vanities and outdoor showers with hot and cold water. The honeymoon tent adds an outdoor bathtub.

Dining

The crescent-shaped main area sits on stilts above the floodplain, with open-sided dining, lounge and bar beneath thatched roofing. A sand-set firepit hosts evening drinks and storytelling, and a swimming pool, central charging station, safari shop and complimentary laundry round out the facilities. The camp runs on solar with backup generators and offers limited Wi-Fi.

Activities

Game drives, including night drives and off-road tracking, run year-round in Gunn's Private Concession (seasonally weather-dependent). Vehicles seat up to 9 guests. Walking safaris, mokoro trips, motorboat cruises and seasonal fishing are offered when water levels allow, generally May to September. Helicopter excursions can be arranged. The signature Adventure Camping sleep-out is available with a minimum two-night stay at no extra cost (minimum two, maximum six guests, from the second night).
